Of This (Things Forgotten) and That (View Differential)

Me this week: Thinking about what to cook this weekend, making a grocery list, planning to go to the store on Sunday when I already have to do the stairs for condo checks.

Also me this week: Requesting books from the library.

Me Friday night: Get email that books are in. Okay, then I'll go to the store on Saturday, since the library isn't open on Sundays.

Me this morning, going to the grocery store, coming home, sitting on the couch, dripping with sweat: Damn it, I forgot to go to the library!

Urghhhhhh.

I was upstairs at my neighbor's condo the other day (we're on the 6th floor, the 7th is the top), and was surprised that there was a difference to the view, just from one floor up.

Our view:

And the 7th floor:

It's interesting how seeing more of the water changed the look.

Also interesting, and frustrating, is that I posted the two photos on Instagram, and somehow only one of them posted through to Facebook. Way to make my caption weird and meaningless, Meta.

And, of course, the cat. Just because he is cute.

    1. I just followed you, so you can find me there!
      And yes, still broken. Last estimate says it will be fixed by Aug 10, but I'll believe it when I see it.

  2. To be able to look out on the ocean every day. Wow.

    I got a good chuckle out of that last picture: it instantly reminded me of sending my two year old to her room and telling her she had to stay there till I said so. She of course looked at the seam in the carpet between the hall and her room and stuck one calculated toe over that line, just to see if I truly meant what I said. I did.
